Zhao J, Dai C, Gu B, Wei M. An ESIPT + AIE based dual-response fluorescent probe for continuous detection of PhSH and HClO and visualization of PhSH-induced oxidative stress in living cells. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 320:124664. [PMID: 38901234 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
As a valuable industrial chemical, thiophenol (PhSH) is poisonous, which can be easily absorbed by the human body, leading to many serious health issues. In addition, PhSH-triggered oxidative stress is considered to be related with the pathogenesis and toxicity of PhSH. Therefore, efficient methods for monitoring PhSH and ROS production induced by PhSH in living systems are very meaningful and desired. Herein, we reasonably developed a facile dual-response fluorescent probe (HDB-DNP) by incorporating the dinitrophenyl (DNP) group into a novel methylthio-substituted salicylaldehyde azine (HDB) with AIE and ESIPT features. The probe itself was non-fluorescent owing to the strong quenching effect of DNP group. In the presence of PhSH, HDB-DNP gave an intense red fluorescence (610 nm), which can rapidly switch to green fluorescence (510 nm) upon further addition of HClO, allowing the successive detection of PhSH and HClO in two well-separated channels. HDB-DNP proved to be a very promising dual-functional probe for rapid (PhSH: < 17 min; HClO: 10 s) and selective detection of PhSH and HClO in physiological conditions with low detection limit (PhSH: 13.8 nM; HClO: 88.6 nM). Inspired by its excellent recognition properties and low cytotoxicity, HDB-DNP was successfully applied for monitoring PhSH and PhSH-induced HClO generation in living cells with satisfactory results, which may help to better understand the pathogenesis of PhSH-related diseases.

Abstract
Cancer cells have a high abundance of hypochlorite compared to normal cells, which can be used as the biomarker for imaging cancer cells and tumor. Developing the tumor-targeting fluorescent probe suitable for imaging hypochlorite in vivo is urgently demanded. In this article, based on xanthene dye with a two-photon excited far-red to NIR emission, a tumor-targeting two-photon fluorescent probe (Biotin-HClO) for imaging basal hypochlorite in cancer cells and tumor was developed. For ClO-, Biotin-HClO (20.0 μM) has a linear response range from 15.0 × 10-8 to 1.1 × 10-5 M with a high selectivity and a high sensitivity, a good detection limit of 50 nM and a 550-fold fluorescence enhancement with high signal-to-noise ratio (20 mM PBS buffer solution with 50 % DMF; pH = 7.4; λex = 605 nm; λem = 635 nm). Morover, Biotin-HClO exhibited excellent performance in monitoring exogenous and endogenous ClO- in cells, and has an outstanding tumor-targeting ability. Subsequently, Biotin-HClO has been applied for imaging ClO- in 4T1 tumor tissue to distinguish from normal tissue. Furthermore, Biotin-HClO was successfully employed for high-contrast imaging 4T1 tumor in mouse based on its tumor-targeting ability. All these results proved that Biotin-HClO is a useful analytical tool to detect ClO- and image tumor in vivo.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), metal ions, and nitrogen species (RNS) play important roles in a variety of biological processes, such as a signal transduction, inflammation, and neurodegenerative damage. These species, while essential for certain functions, can also induce stress-related diseases. The interrelation between ROS, RSS, Metal ions and RNS underscores the importance of quantifying their concentrations in live cells, tissues, and organisms. The review emphasizes the use of small-molecule-based fluorescent/chemodosimeter probes to effectively measure and map the species' distribution with high temporal and spatial precision, paying particular attention to in vitro and in vivo environments. These probes are recognized as valuable tools contributing to breakthroughs in modern redox biology. The review specifically addresses the relationship of HOCl/ClO‾ (hypochlorous acid/Hypochlorite) with other reactive species. (Dual sensing probes).

Abstract
Due to the its high abundance, iron ion contamination and toxicity is one of the most challenging issue for living beings. Although, iron is extremenly important for several body functions, excess amount of iron in the body can also be fatal. In last century, rapid industrialization, iron extraction and mismanagement of industrial waste disposal leads to iron contamination in water bodies. Therefore, versatile iron sensors needs to be develop which can be employed for detection in biological as well as real water samples. 8-hydroxyquinoline is well-known for its strong affinity towards transition metals including Fe3+. In this regard, we have synthesised benzothiazole-quinoline derived 1,2,3- triazole (4HBTHQTz), in which 4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenolic (4-HBT) group acts as a fluorophore. 4HBTHQTz showed high fluorescence and induced a selective decrease in fluorescence with Fe3+ at 380 nm (λex. = 320 nm). The detection limit of 4HBTHQTz with Fe3+ is calculated as 0.64 μM, which is lower than the WHO recommended limit in drinking water. 4HBTHQTz works over the 5-8 pH range and has shown promising results for quantitative detection of Fe3+ in water samples collected from tap, river and seawater. 4HBTHQTz can also detect the Fe3+ in biological samples which is confirmed by fluorescence cell imaging using L929 mouse fibroblast cells. Overall, 4HBTHQTz showed advantages such as high selectivity, quick detection, and good limit of detection (LOD) for Fe3+.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) plays an indispensable role as an antioxidant in the maintenance of bioredox homeostasis. We have constructed an efficient fluorescent probe Mito-Cys based on the binding of indole and naphthol. The acrylic ester group serves as a recognition switch for specific detection of Cys, which undergoes Michael addition and intramolecular cyclization reactions, thereby ensuring the chemical kinetics priority of Cys compared to other biothiols. The probe has good water solubility, large Stokes shift (137 nm), with a detection limit of 21.81 nM. In addition, cell imaging experiments have shown that the probe has excellent mitochondrial targeting ability (R = 0.902). The probe can distinguish between Cys, homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), and can detect Cys specifically and quickly (100 s) to ensure accurate quantitative analysis of Cys changes in cells. More importantly, the probe confirms that ferroptosis inducing factors trigger thiol starvation in mitochondria, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the physiological and pathological functions related to Cys and ferroptosis.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2·-) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-), two important oxidants under oxidative stress, coexist in complex cell and organism systems, playing crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the absence of robust molecular tools capable of simultaneously visualizing O2·- and ONOO- in biosystems, the relationship between these two species remains understudied. Herein, we present sequentially activated fluorescent probe, DHX-SP, which exhibits exceptional selectivity and sensitivity toward O2·- and ONOO-. This probe enables precise imaging of these species in living PC12 cells under oxidative stress conditions using distinct fluorescence signal combinations. Furthermore, the probe DHX-SP has the ability to visualize changes in O2·- and ONOO- levels during ferroptosis of PC12 cells and in the Parkinson's disease model. These findings establish a connection between the crosstalk of the phosphorus group of O2·- and ONOO- in PC12 cells under oxidative stress.

Abstract
Ferroptosis modulation is a powerful therapeutic option for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a low 5-year survival rate and lack of effective treatment methods. However, due to the dual role of ferroptosis in promoting and inhibiting pancreatic tumorigenesis, regulating the degree of ferroptosis is very important to obtain the best therapeutic effect of PDAC. Biothiols are suitable as biomarkers of imaging ferroptosis due to the dramatic decreases of biothiol levels in ferroptosis caused by the inhibited synthesis pathway of glutathione (GSH) and the depletion of biothiol by reactive oxygen species. Moreover, a very recent study reported that cysteine (Cys) depletion can lead to pancreatic tumor ferroptosis in mice and may be employed as an effective therapeutic strategy for PDAC. Therefore, visualization of biothiols in ferroptosis of PDAC will be helpful for regulating the degree of ferroptosis, understanding the mechanism of Cys depletion-induced pancreatic tumor ferroptosis, and further promoting the study and treatment of PDAC. Herein, two biothiol-activable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent/photoacoustic bimodal imaging probes (HYD-BX and HYD-DX) for imaging of pancreatic tumor ferroptosis were reported. These two probes show excellent bimodal response performances for biothiols in solution, cells, and tumors. Subsequently, they have been employed successfully for real-time visualization of changes in concentration levels of biothiols during the ferroptosis process in PDAC cells and HepG2 cells. Most importantly, they have been further applied for bimodal imaging of ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer in mice, with satisfactory results. The development of these two probes provides new tools for monitoring changes in concentration levels of biothiols in ferroptosis and will have a positive impact on understanding the mechanism of Cys depletion-induced pancreatic tumor ferroptosis and further promoting the study and treatment of PDAC.

Abstract
pH and temperature are two important characteristics in cells and the environment. These, not only in the well-done regulation of cell functions but also in diagnosis and treatment, have a key role. Protein-protected bimetallic nanoclusters are abundantly used in the building of biosensors. However, insulin-stabilized Au-Ag nanoclusters with dual intrinsic emission have not been investigated yet. In this work, Dual emissive insulin templated Au-Ag nanocluster (Ins(Au/Ag)NCs) were first synthesized in a simple and green one-put manner. The two emission wavelengths of, as-prepared NCs centered at 410 and 630 nm, excited in one excitation wavelength (330 nm). These two emission peaks were assigned to the di-Tyrosine cross-linked formation and bimetallic nanoclusters respectively. Further analysis displayed that each emission band of Ins(Au/Ag)NCs responded to one variable whilst another peak remained constant; For blue and red emission wavelengths, pH dependency and thermo-responsibility were observed respectively. As-prepared nanoprobe with the intrinsic dual emissive feature was used for ratiometric determination of these parameters, each with a discrete response from another. The linear range of 6.0-9.0 for pH and 1 to 71 °C for temperature was obtained, which comprises the physiological range of pH and temperature and afforded intracellular sensing and imaging capability. As-prepared NCs probe show excellent biocompatibility and cell membrane permeability, and so were successfully applied as direct ratiometric pH and temperature probes in HeLa and HFF cells. More interestingly, this dual emissive nanoprobe is capable of distinguishing cancer cells from normal ones.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. The clinical symptoms of PD are usually related to motor symptoms, including postural instability, rigidity, bradykinesia, and resting tremors. At present, the pathology of PD is not yet clear. Therefore, revealing the underlying pathological mechanism of PD is of great significance. A variety of bioactive molecules are produced during the onset of Parkinson's, and these bioactive molecules may be a key factor in the development of Parkinson's. The emerging fluorescence imaging technology has good sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to deeply understand the pathogenesis of PD through these bioactive molecules. Currently, fluorescent probes targeting PD biomarkers are widely developed and applied. This article categorizes and summarizes fluorescent probes based on different PD biomarkers, systematically introduces their applications in the pathological process of PD, and finally briefly elaborates on the challenges and prospects of these probes. We hope that this review will provide in-depth reference insights for designing fluorescent probes, and contribute to study of the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of PD.

Abstract
The abnormally elevated expression level of glutathione (GSH) has been observed in various human cancer cells and tissue. Thus, effective methods for glutathione detection are of great importance in early diagnosis of cancer. However, many fluorescent probes for GSH detection suffer from the interference of the abundantly existent nucleophilic biomolecules in biological environment. In this work, we propose a sequential activation strategy to overcome this problem by designing and synthesizing a series of 1,3,5-triazinyl resorufin turn-on fluorescent probe (Probes 1-3). As two electrophilic sites are presented in probes, GSH sequentially reacts with the resorufin and the triazine moiety, resulting in significant fluorescence augmentation (up to 165.0-fold). Designed probes possess low limit of detection as low as 1.8 μM). Cellular fluorescent imaging has been successfully applied to selectively detect GSH in several living cells.

Abstract
Covalent post-synthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents an underexplored but promising avenue for allowing the addition of specific fluorescent recognition elements to produce the novel MOF-based sensory materials with multiple-analyte detection capability. Here, an excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) active sensor 2D-Zn-NS-P was designed and constructed by covalent post-synthetic incorporation of the excited-state tautomeric 2-hydroxypyridine moiety into the ultrasonically exfoliated amino-tagged 2D Zn-MOF nanosheets (2D-Zn-NS). The water-mediated ESPT process facilitates the highly accessible active sites incorporated on the surface of 2D-Zn-NS-P to specifically respond to the presence of water in common organic solvents via fluorescence turn-on behavior, and accurate quantification of trace amount of water in acetonitrile, acetone and ethanol was established using the as-synthesized nanosheet sensor with the detection sensitivity (<0.01% v/v) superior to the conventional Karl Fischer titration. Upon exposure to Fe3+ or Cr2O72-, the intense blue emission of the aqueous colloidal dispersion of 2D-Zn-NS-P was selectively quenched even in the coexistence of common inorganic interferents. The prohibition of the water-mediated ESPT process and local emission, induced by the coordination of ESPT fluorophore with Fe3+ or by Cr2O72- competitively absorbs the excitation energy, was proposed to responsible for the fluorescence turn-off sensing of the respective analytes. The present study offers the attractive prospect to develop the ESPT-based fluorescent MOF nanosheets by covalent post-synthetic modification strategy as multi-functional sensors for detection of target analytes.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), a cause of cerebral dysfunction during cerebral infarction treatment, is closely associated with mitochondrial viscosity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, the accurate measurement of mitochondrial viscosity and H2O2 levels in CIRI is challenging because of the lack of sufficient selectivity and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration of existing monitoring tools related to CIRI, hampering the exploration of the role of mitochondrial viscosity and H2O2 in CIRI. To address this issue, we designed an activatable fluorescent probe, mitochondria-targeting styryl-quinolin-ium (Mito-IQS), with excellent properties including high selectivity, mitochondrial targeting, and BBB penetration, for the visualization of mitochondrial viscosity and H2O2 in the brain. Based on the real-time monitoring capabilities of the probe, bursts of mitochondrial viscosity and H2O2 levels were visualized during CIRI. This probe can be used to monitor the therapeutic effects of butylphthalein treatment. More importantly, in vivo experiments further confirmed that CIRI was closely associated with the mitochondrial viscosity and H2O2 levels. This discovery provides new insights and tools for the study of CIRI and is expected to accelerate the process of CIRI diagnosis, treatment, and drug design.

Abstract
Fluorescence analysis is an increasingly important contributor to the early diagnosis of kidney diseases. To achieve precise visualization of the kidneys and early diagnosis of related diseases, an asymmetric pyrrolopyrrolidone (DPP) dye platform with C-aromatic substituents and N-lipophilic/hydrophilic modification was constructed. Based on these, we developed the renal-clearable, water-soluble, and kidney injury biomarker leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activated ratiometric fluorescent probe DPP-S-L. In the mouse model of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury and during the development of type 2 diabetes to diabetic kidney disease, we visualized for the first time the upregulation of LAP in the kidney and urine by dual-channel ratiometric fluorescence signal and diagnosed the kidney injury earlier and more sensitively than blood/urine enzyme detection and tissue analysis. This study showcases an excellent asymmetric DPP dye platform and renal-clearable ratiometric fluorescent probe design strategy that is extended to determination and visualization of other biomarkers for early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Fever is the result of inflammation and the innate self-defense response of organisms, can cause abnormal changes in the activity of many enzymes in organisms, including the important carboxylesterase (CE). Monitoring the activity changes of CE in vivo during a fever will help to understand heat-related pathological mechanisms. In this paper, we designed diketopyrrolopyrrole-based ratiometric fluorescent probes DPP-FBC-P and DPP-FBO-P containing alkyl chain and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether chain respective for detection of CE. Both probes could realized fast response to CE and displayed good selectivity and high sensitivity. Compared with DPP-FBO-P, DPP-FBC-P had better biocompatibility, larger signal to noise ratio (225-fold vs 125-fold) and lower detection limit (1.6 × 10-5 U/mL vs 4.2 × 10-5 U/mL). Moreover, the probe DPP-FBC-P had been successfully applied to image the endogenous CE in HepG2 cells and solid tumors, and also visualized the over expressed CE in fever cells. Most importantly, the changes of CE level in the liver of fever mice model induced by LPS were monitored with the assistance of DPP-FBC-Pvia dual channel ratio imaging for the first time. In addition, fluorescence color signal in solution was captured by smart phone, and the linear relationship between RGB ratio (G/R) and CE concentration was established. This work will provide a potential approach for investigating the physiological and pathological processes of heat related diseases.

Abstract
Construction of fluorescent probes for zinc ion (Zn2+ ) and cadmium ion (Cd2+ ) is significant for the safety of humans. However, the discriminating recognition of Zn2+ and Cd2+ by a single probe remains challenging owing to their similar properties. Herein, a novel deoxycholic acid derivative containing 8-hydroxyquinoline fluorophore has been facilely synthesized through click chemistry to form a clamp-like probe. Using its perfect bonding cavity from 1,2,3-triazole and quinoline, this molecule showed favorable solvent-dependent fluorescent responses and distinguished Zn2+ and Cd2+ in different solvents. In ethanol aqueous solution, it displayed good selectivity and ratiometric fluorescence to Zn2+ with 30 nm spectroscopic red-shifts. In acetonitrile aqueous solution, it exhibited good selectivity and ratiometric fluorescence to Cd2+ with 18 nm spectroscopic red-shifts. Moreover, the unique microstructural features of the probe in assembly were used to reflect its recognition processes. Due to its merits of low detection limit and instant response time, the probe was utilized for sensing Zn2+ and Cd2+ in water, beer and urine with high accuracy. Meanwhile, this probe served as a handy tool and was employed to obtain inexpensive test strips for the prompt and semiqualitative analysis of Zn2+ and Cd2+ with the naked eye.

Abstract
Phosgene is a highly concealed and highly toxic gas that seriously threatens human health and public security. Therefore, the detection of phosgene is of great significance to world security. Herein, a new type of fluorescent probe based on 2-(2-aminophenyl) imidazo [1,5-a] pyridine is reported for the rapid detection of phosgene. The probe itself only emits a faint green fluorescence, while phosgene allows it to produce a strong blue fluorescence. During the recognition process, phosgene interacts simultaneously with both amino site and imidazole moiety in the probe molecule, resulting in a four-ring-fused rigid structure with high fluorescence quantum yield. The probe not only has the characteristics of high efficiency, high sensitivity (detection limit 2.68 nM), and high selectivity, but also has remarkable spectral changes. Finally, a portable test strip is used to detect phosgene in the gas phase, and the fluorescent color change of the test strip can be easily observed. The most exciting thing is that the portable test strip with the probe PMPY-NH2 can produce a strong fluorescence response to 1 ppm of phosgene, which is far lower than the level of phosgene that seriously threatens to human health.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gas transporter and cell protector and plays a role in a number of disorders and signaling processes. Given that the half-life of H2S in biological systems is between seconds and minutes, the development of rapid and accurate technologies for reliable monitoring H2S levels and dynamics in organisms is critical. However, it is still difficult to design innovative near-infrared fluorescent probes that can quickly and accurately detect H2S. Here, we constructed a novel NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe based on the "aldehyde group auxiliary strategy", Cy-H2S, for the quantitative detection and precise imaging of H2S in living cells and zebrafish. Cy-H2S responded quickly (150 s) and was highly sensitive (0.179 μM) to H2S donor. Cy-H2S was further successfully employed to track endogenous H2S fluctuation in HCT116 cells and zebrafish and evaluated the release efficiency of the H2S prodrug in a NIR ratiometric imaging way. Cy-H2S has the potential to be used as a reliable indication of H2S levels in living cells and zebrafish, as well as an innovative and practical instrument for furthering the physiological research of H2S, which will encourage the creation of advanced NIR ratiometric probes for a variety of biological applications.

Abstract
Chemical gradients and uneven distribution of analytes are common in natural and artificial systems. As a result, the ability to visualize chemical distributions in two or more dimensions has gained significant importance in recent years. This has led to the integration of chemical imaging techniques into all domains of analytical chemistry. In this review, we focus on the use of optical sensors, so-called optodes, to obtain real-time and multidimensional images of two or more parameters simultaneously. It is important to emphasize that multiparameter imaging in this context is not confined solely to multiple chemical parameters (analytes) but also encompasses physical (e.g., temperature or flow) or biological (e.g., metabolic activity) parameters. First, we discuss the technological milestones that have paved the way for chemical imaging using optodes. Later, we delve into various strategies that can be taken to enable multiparameter imaging. The latter spans from developing novel receptors that enable the recognition of multiple parameters to chemometrics and machine learning-based techniques for data analysis. We also explore ongoing trends, challenges, and prospects for future developments in this field. Optode-based multiparameter imaging is a rapidly expanding field that is being fueled by cutting-edge technologies. Chemical imaging possesses the potential to provide novel insights into complex samples, bridging not only across various scientific disciplines but also between research and society.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte mortality constitutes a prominent contributor to global morbidity and mortality. However, early diagnosis and preventive treatment of cardiac I/R injury remains a challenge. Given the close relationship between ferroptosis and I/R injury, monitoring their pathological processes holds promise for advancing early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Herein, we report a near-infrared (NIR) light-activated dual-responsive nanoprobe (UCNP@mSiO2@SP-NP-NAP) for controllable detection of hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) during ferroptosis-related myocardial I/R injury. The nanoprobe's responsive sites could be activated by NIR and Vis light modulation, reversibly alternating for at least 5 cycles. We employed the nanoprobe to monitor the fluctuation levels of H2Sn and SO2 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes and mice, revealing that H2Sn and SO2 levels were up-regulated during I/R. The NIR light-activated dual-responsive nanoprobe could be a powerful tool for myocardial I/R injury diagnosis. Moreover, we also found that inhibiting the initiation of the ferroptosis process contributed to attenuating cardiac I/R injury, which indicated great potential for treating I/R injury.

[PMID: 37939912 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymeth.2023.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and applications of fluorescence imaging probes synthesized via MCRs (multicomponent reactions). These probes, also known as functional chromophores, belong to a currently investigated class of fluorophores that are presently being successfully applied in bioimaging experiments, especially in various living cell lineages. We describe some of the MCRs that have been employed in the synthesis of these probes and explore their applications in biological imaging, with an emphasis on cellular imaging. The review also discusses the challenges and future perspectives in the field, particularly considering the potential impact of MCR-based fluorescence imaging probes on advancing this field of research in the coming years. Considering that this area of research is relatively new and nearly a decade has passed since the first publication, this review also provides a historical perspective on this class of fluorophores, highlighting the pioneering works published between 2011 and 2016.

Abstract
The creation of new functional molecules is a central task in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of fluorophore, bisbenzo[f]isoindolylidenes, from easily accessible dipropargyl benzenesulfonamides. Wavelength-tunable fluorophores emitting strong fluorescence of green to red light were obtained in this reaction. Late-stage modifications and incorporation of bioactive molecules into these fluorophores give rise to potential applications in biological studies. Detailed computational and experimental studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism, and suggest a reaction sequence involving Garratt-Braverman type cyclization, isomerization, fragmentation, dimerization and oxidation.

Abstract
Calixarenes are "chalice like" phenol-based macrocycles that are one of the most fascinating studied scaffolds in supramolecular chemistry. Their preorganized nonpolar cavities and ion binding sites, and their well-defined conformations all lay important foundations for forming host-guest complexes. Conjugation of calixarene scaffolds with various fluorophores at either upper or lower rims has led to the development of smart fluorescent probes for inorganic molecules or ions, aliphatic or aromatic compounds, biomolecules, temperature and hypoxia, even multi-component traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Moreover, significant advancements have been made for biological applications. This review critically summarizes the recent advances made in these areas.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) serves as a ubiquitous and fundamental signaling molecule involved in intricate effects on both physiological and pathological processes. NO, biosynthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or generated from nitrite, can form nitrosation reagent N2O3 (4NO + O2 = 2N2O3) through its oxidation or quickly produce peroxynitrite anion ONOO- (NO + •O2- = ONOO-) by reacting with superoxide anion (•O2-). However, most of the existing luminescent probes for NO just focus on specificity and utilize only a single signal to distinguish products N2O3 or ONOO-. In most of the present work, they differentiate one product from another simply by fluorescence signal or fluorescence intensity, which is not enough to distinguish accurately the behavior of NO in living cells. Herein, a new mitochondria-targeted and two-photon near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescent iridium(III) complex, known as Ir-NBD, has been designed for accurate detection and simultaneous imaging of two downstream products of endogenous NO, i.e., N2O3 and ONOO-. Ir-NBD exhibits a rapid response to N2O3 and ONOO- in enhanced phosphorescence intensity, increased phosphorescence lifetime, and an exceptionally high two-photon cross-section, reaching values of 78 and 85 GM, respectively, after the reaction. Furthermore, we employed multiple imaging methods, phosphorescence intensity imaging, and phosphorescence lifetime imaging together to image even distinguish N2O3 and ONOO- by probe Ir-NBD. Thus, coupled with its excellent photometrics, Ir-NBD enabled the detection of the basal level of intracellular NO accurately by responding to N2O3 and ONOO- in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophage model in virtue of fluorescence signal and phosphorescence lifetime imaging, revealing precisely the endogenous mitochondrial NO distribution during inflammation in a cell environment.

Abstract
There are several metal ions that are vital for the growth of the environmental field as well as for the biological field but only up to the maximum limit. If they are present in excess, it could be hazardous for the human health. With the growing technology, a series of various detection techniques are employed in order to recognize those metal ions, some of them include voltammetry, electrochemical methods, inductively couples, etc. However, these techniques are expensive, time consuming, requires large storage, advanced instrumentation, and a skilled person to operate. So, here comes the need of a sensor and it is defined as a miniature device which detects the substance of interest by giving response in the form of energy change. So, from past few decades, many sensors have been formulated for detecting metal ions with some basic characteristics like selectivity, specificity, sensitivity, high accuracy, lower detection limit, and response time. Detecting various metal ions by employing chemosensors involves different techniques such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemical, and colorimetry. The fluorescence technique has certain advantages over the other techniques. This review mainly focuses on the chemosensors that show a signal in the form of fluorescence to detect Al+3, Zn+2, Cu+2, and Fe+3 ions.

Abstract
Visualization and quantification of important biomolecules like glutathione (GSH) in live cells are highly important. The existing methods are mostly from optical detection and lack of atomic resolution on the activity of GSH. Here, we present a sensitive 19F-NMR method to quantify real-time variations of GSH in live cells in a reversible manner. This NMR method prevents extracellular leakage and irreversible consumption of intracellular GSH during the detection. The high performance of the reactive 19F-probe enables accurate determination of intracellular GSH content at atomic resolution, from which information on GSH variations with respect to the extracellular and intracellular conditions can be inferred. In addition, we demonstrate the applicability of this NMR method to quantify the GSH levels between different live cell lines and to disclose the distinct differences between the intracellular environment and cell lysates. We foresee the application of 19F-NMR to monitor real-time variations of intracellular GSH levels in relation to GSH-involved central cellular processes.

Abstract
Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is an important protease that can specifically hydrolyze Leucine residues. LAP occurs in microorganisms, plants, animals, and humans and is involved in a variety of physiological processes in the human body. In the physiological system, abnormal levels of LAP are associated with a variety of diseases and pathological processes, such as cancer and drug-induced liver injury; thus, LAP was chosen as the early biochemical marker for many physiological processes, including cancer. Considering the importance of LAP in physiological and pathological processes, it is critical that high-efficiency and dependable technology be developed to monitor LAP levels. Herein, we summarize the organic small molecule fluorescence/chemiluminescence probes used for LAP detection in recent years, which can image LAP in cancer, drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and bacteria. It can also reveal the role of LAP in tumors and differentiate the serum of cirrhotic, drug-induced liver injury and normal models.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a central signaling and antioxidant biomolecule involved in various biological processes. As inappropriate levels of H2S in the human body are closely related to various diseases, including cancer, a tool capable of detecting H2S with high selectivity and sensitivity in living systems is urgently required. In this work, we intended to develop a biocompatible and activatable fluorescent molecular probe for detecting H2S generation in living cells. The 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-imbedded naphthalimide (1) probe presented here responds specifically to H2S and produces readily detectable fluorescence at 530 nm. Interestingly, probe 1 exhibited significant fluorescence responses to changes in endogenous H2S levels as well as high biocompatibility and permeability in living HeLa cells. This allowed for the real-time monitoring of endogenous H2S generation as an antioxidant defense response in the oxidatively stressed cells.

Abstract
Multiplex technology is an important emerging field, in diagnostic sciences, that enables the simultaneous detection of several analytes in a single sample. The light-emission spectrum of a chemiluminescent phenoxy-dioxetane luminophore can be accurately predicted by determining the fluorescence-emission spectrum of its corresponding benzoate species, which is generated during the chemiexcitation process. Based on this observation, we designed a library of chemiluminescent dioxetane luminophores with multicolor emission wavelengths. Two dioxetane luminophores that have different emission spectra, but similar quantum yield properties, were selected from the synthesized library for a duplex analysis. The selected dioxetane luminophores were equipped with two different enzymatic substrates to generate turn-ON chemiluminescent probes. This pair of probes exhibited a promising ability to act as a chemiluminescent duplex system for the simultaneous detection of two different enzymatic activities in a physiological solution. In addition, the pair of probes were also able to simultaneously detect the activities of the two enzymes in a bacterial assay, using a blue filter slit for one enzyme and a red filter slit for the other enzyme. As far as we know, this is the first successful demonstration of a chemiluminescent duplex system composed of two-color phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane luminophores. We believe that the library of dioxetanes presented here will be beneficial for developing chemiluminescence luminophores for multiplex analysis of enzymes and bioanalytes.

Abstract
The intracellular viscosity is an important parameter of the microenvironment and SO2 is a vital gas signal molecule. At present, some dual-response fluorescence probes for simultaneous measurements of viscosity and SO2 derivatives (HSO3-/SO32-) possessed poor water solubility. In this work, we developed a water-soluble fluorescence probe CIJ (0.0864 g/100 mL of water at 20 °C) for simultaneous measurements of viscosity and SO2 derivatives. CIJ exhibited a sensitive fluorescence enhancement to environmental viscosity from 0.97 to 28.04 cP based on a twisted intramolecular charge transfer mechanism and was applied to effective measurement of viscosity in vitro and in vivo. CIJ could also respond to SO2 derivatives with a low detection limit (44 nM) and a fast response time (5 min) based on the nucleophilic addition reaction. Furthermore, CIJ was applied to monitor SO2 derivatives in ratiometric response manner in living cells.

Abstract
Both imbalance of H2S production and the change of viscosity in cells are associated with many diseases such as inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Thus, the development of two-channel fluorescent probes for the detection of H2S and viscosity is of great significance for the study of pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we design a two-channel NIR fluorescent probe RHO-DCO-DNP, which was able to selectively respond to H2S in one channel (λex = 580 nm, λem = 760 nm) and to viscosity in another channel (λex = 400 nm, λem = 585 nm). It should be emphasized that there is a negligible impact from the crosstalk between the two optical channels and the two targets. In addition, with the low cytotoxicity and unique dual lysosome/mitochondria targeting capability, the probe was successfully applied to the sensing of H2S and viscosity in normal cells and inflammation cells through fluorescent imaging. The probe could be a promising molecular tool for exploring the pathological role of H2S, viscosity, and both of them.

Advances in organic fluorescent probes for bromide ions, hypobromous acid and related eosinophil peroxidase-A review. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1244:340626. [PMID: 36737144 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Elemental bromine is among the essential elements for human health. In living organisms, bromide (Br-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be catalyzed by eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) to generate a reactive oxygen species (ROS), hypobromous acid (HOBr), which exhibits properties similar to those of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Moreover, HOBr possesses strong oxidative and antibacterial properties, which are believed to play an important role in the neutrophil host defense system. However, overexpression or misexpression of HOBr can cause organismal and tissue damage, which is closely related to the development of various diseases. Therefore, an increasing number of studies has demonstrated physiological associations with the conversion of Br- to HOBr. With the development of fluorescence imaging technology, developing fluorescent probes with novel structures and high selectivity to detect changes in Br-, HOBr, and the related enzyme EPO levels in organisms has become very important. This paper summarizes Br-, HOBr, and EPO fluorescent probes reported in recent years, including the design principles, mechanisms, optical properties, and bioapplications. Finally, the application prospects and challenges are also discussed.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) and hypochlorite (ClO-) are extremely harmful to the public health, so it is vitally necessary to detect them in living system. Herein, we developed a new phenthiazine-thiobarbituric acid based dual-analyte responsive fluorescent sensor PT for visually distinguishing and detecting N2H4 and ClO-. PT underwent N2H4/ClO--induced CC breakage, achieving olive-drab/brilliant green fluorescence lighting-up response towards N2H4/ClO- with superb specifity, ultra-sensitivity (detection limit: 15.4 nM for N2H4, 13.7 nM for ClO-), and ultra-fast response (N2H4: <15 s, ClO-: <20 s). The mechanisms for sensing N2H4 and ClO- were investigated with support of spectral measurements and DFT investigation. Sensor based paper-strip/silica-gel device was developed for in-field supervision and on-site monitoring of gaseous and aqueous N2H4 and ClO- solution. In addition, the PT was also applied for quantitatively detecting N2H4 and ClO- in soil, food, plants and bio-fluids. Moreover, PT was utilized to visualize exogenous N2H4 and ClO- in living plants and live-cells, demonstrating this sensor utilized as a powerful tool to detect N2H4 and ClO- in biological fields.

Abstract
NAD(P)H is a vital hydrogen donor and electron carrier involved in numerous biological processes. The development of small-molecule tools for intravital imaging of NAD(P)H is significant for further exploring their pathophysiological roles. Herein, we rationally designed a fluorescent probe NADH-R by a simple graft of pyridiniumylbutenenitrile on a 1-methylquinolinium moiety in the 3-position. Benefited from the reduction of quinolinium by NAD(P)H, this probe releases the free push-pull fluorophore NADH-RH, allowing a turn-on red-emitting fluorescence response together with an ultralow detection limit of 12 nM. Under the assistance of the probe, we first monitored exogenous and endogenous generation of NAD(P)H in living cells, subsequently observed dynamic changes of NAD(P)H levels in living cells under different metabolic perturbations, and finally visualized the declined NAD(P)H levels in live mouse brain in a stroke model. Unexpectedly, the time-dependent colocalization experiment revealed that the probe reacts with mitochondrial NAD(P)H, followed by a shift of its reduced product NADH-RH from mitochondria to the nucleus, highlighting that NADH-RH is a novel nucleus-directed dye scaffold, which would facilitate the development of nucleus-targeting fluorescent probes and drugs.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as an indispensable biomolecule, is the main energy source of cells and is used as a marker for diseases such as cancer and fatty liver. It is of great significance to design a near-infrared fluorescent nanoprobe with excellent performance and apply it to various disease models. Here, a near-infrared fluorescent nanoprobe (ZIF-90@SiR) based on a zeolitic imidazole framework is proposed. The fluorescent nanoprobes are synthesized by encapsulating the dye (SiR) into the framework of ZIF-90. Upon the addition of ATP, the structure of the ZIF-90@SiR nanoprobe is disrupted and SiR is released to generate near-infrared fluorescence at 670 nm. In the process of ATP detection, ZIF-90@SiR shows high sensitivity and good selectivity. Moreover, the ZIF-90@SiR nanoprobe has good biocompatibility due to its low toxicity to cells. It is used for fluorescence imaging of ATP in living cells and thus distinguishing normal cells and cancer cells, as well as distinguishing fatty liver cells. Due to excellent near-infrared fluorescence properties, the ZIF-90@SiR nanoprobe can not only distinguish normal mice and tumor mice but also differentiate normal mice and fatty liver mice for the first time.

Abstract
A reactive fluorescent "turn-on" probe (di-PIP) with imine-linked dual phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole luminophore have been conveniently prepared as an Al3+ and H+ dual functional receptor. di-PIP displayed high selectivity and sensitivity towards Al3+ ion in DMF/HEPES accompanied by fluorescence blue-shift and a good linear relationship as well as a low detection limit of 30.5 nmol·L-1, which can root from the synergetic functions of the decomposition reaction of di-PIP promoted by acidic Al3+ and the coordination effect between decomposition product and Al3+. Intriguingly, it was found that hydrogen ion H+ can be sufficient for simulating the fluorescence enhancing of di-PIP. 1H NMR titration and MS analyses for elucidation of the intermediate structure further revealed that the acid-triggered decomposition reaction resulted in the rapid, and sensitive sensing to Al3+ and H+. In addition, the probe di-PIP could be successfully applied to the detection of Al3+ in real water samples, and also utilized to visualize Al3+ and H+ in the living cells.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global health issue. Peroxynitrite and liver viscosity have recently been found to be potential biomarkers of NAFLD. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop dual-response fluorescent probes for simultaneous detecting peroxynitrite and viscosity. We report herein a new probe (CQ) that can simultaneously detect peroxynitrite and viscosity at two independent fluorescent channels without signal crosstalk. CQ shows high selectivity, rapid response, good water solubility, low cytotoxicity, and mitochondrial localization properties. In particular, CQ responds sensitively to viscosity and peroxynitrite with off-on fluorescence changes at 710 and 505 nm, respectively. The wavelength gap between these two channels is more than 200 nm, ensuring that there is no signal crosstalk during detection. With this property, the probe was applied to simultaneously detect mitochondrial viscosity and peroxynitrite and image the changes of liver viscosity and peroxynitrite concentration during the pathogenesis of NAFLD. All results show that the CQ probe is a powerful tool for simultaneous detection of viscosity and peroxynitrite and provides a potential new diagnostic method for NAFLD.

Abstract
It is crucial to monitor hydrogen sulfide (H2S) because H2S plays a vital role in the regulation of many physiology and pathology processes. Many evidences indicate that endogenous H2S is closely associated with many diseases such as inflammation and cancers. Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent probe BTDI to monitor the fluctuation of H2S based on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism both ex vivo and in vivo. The selectivity of BTDI for H2S is significantly higher than that for biothiols and other potential anions. After the probe responded to H2S, the nucleophilic addition reaction of the H2S with probe BTDI resulted the shifting of maximum emission peak from 630 nm to 542 nm and the fluorescent signals change from red to green emission along with a large Stokes shift (240 nm). Moreover, BTDI can be successfully applied to detect extracellular and endogenous H2S in living cells through fluorescent cell-imaging, which provides a promising tool for the specific recognition of H2S in complex biological systems.

Abstract
In this research, we constructed a styrylpyridine derivative-based fluorescent probe MITO-PQDNs to monitor mitochondrial glutathione (GSH). The probe MITO-PQDNs could react rapidly (20 min) with GSH in PBS buffer and exhibited a strong fluorescence signal (586 nm) as well as a significant Stokes shift (200 nm). Moreover, MITO-PQDNs could quantitatively detect GSH with high sensitivity (LOD = 253 nM). Meanwhile, MITO-PQDNs possessed favorable biocompatibility and could detect both endogenous and exogenous GSH in MCF-7 cells. Above all, MITO-PQDNs enabled the detection of fluctuations in mitochondrial GSH concentrations during oxidative stress.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest human malignancies, and exploring the complex molecular mechanisms behind cell death will greatly promote the clinical treatment of PC. Here, we reported a cascading-response fluorescent-imaging probe, Cy-Cys-pH, for the sequential detection of cysteine (Cys) and pH in pancreatic cancer cells. In the presence of Cys, Cys-mediated cleavage of the acrylate group caused Cy-Cys-pH to be transformed into Cy-Cys-O, which induced intense fluorescence enhancement at 725 nm. Then, Cy-Cys-O was protonated to obtain Cy-Cys-OH and the fluorescence emission shifted to 682 nm, showing a ratiometric pH response. Furthermore, Cy-Cys-pH can monitor the intracellular pH during the therapeutic process with anticancer drugs and evaluated the ability of three anticancer drugs to kill Panc-1 cells, proving that associating Cys and pH is in part an effective anticancer strategy in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Significantly, Cy-Cys-pH is able to monitor and image pH changes during Cys depletion in real-time, which further reveals the molecular mechanism of Cys-depleted pancreatic cancer cell death, providing a powerful molecular tool for the precise treatment of PC.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) derivatives are intertwined with many physiological and pathological processes in living systems, and excess intake of them are associated with various diseases. Herein, we have rationally constructed a novel colorimetric and far-red fluorescent probe for HSO3- based on a rhodamine analogue skeleton bearing a 3-quinolinium carboxaldehyde moiety. The novel probe exhibited a significant far-red fluorescence "Turn-on" response to HSO3-, along with obvious color change from reddish to purple via the specific 1,4-nucleophilic addition reaction of HSO3- with the quinolinium moiety in 3-(4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-(diethylamino)chromenylium-2-yl)-1-methylquinolin-1-ium hypochlorite trifluoromethanesulfonate (AQCB). The AQCB had excellent water-solubility, and presented rapid response (<15 s),highsensibility(LOD = 49 nM) and selectivity toward HSO3-. In addition, the probe was able to detect the content of HSO3- in food samples with satisfactory results. Furthermore, the probe possessed good cell membrane and could be successfully applied for imaging HSO3- in the mitochondria of living cells.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of programmed cell death driven by excessive lipid peroxidation (LPO). Mounting evidence suggests that the unique modality of cell death is involved in the development and progression of several diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neurodegenerative disorders, etc. However, the pathogenesis and signalling pathways of ferroptosis are not fully understood, possibly due to the lack of robust tools for the highly selective and sensitive imaging of ferroptosis analytes in complex living systems. Up to now, various small-molecule fluorescent probes have been applied as promising chemosensors for studying ferroptosis through tracking the biomolecules or microenvironment-related parameters in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed the recent development of small-molecule fluorescent probes for studying ferroptosis, with a focus on the analytes, design strategies and bioimaging applications. We also provided new insights to overcome the major challenges in this emerging field.

Abstract
H2S, the smallest and simplest biological thiol in living systems, is the third member of the family of signaling mediators. H2S participates in the regulation of a series of complex physiological and pathological functions in the body, making it a critical fulcrum that balances health and disease in human physiology. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been proven to possess the unique advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution, good biocompatibility and high sensitivity, and thus their use is a powerful approach for monitoring the level and dynamics of H2S in living cells and organisms and better understanding its basic cellular functions. The field of small-molecule fluorescent probes for monitoring the complex biological activities of H2S in vivo has been thriving in recent years. Herein, we systematically summarize the latest developments in the field of fluorescent probes for the detection of H2S, illustrate their biological applications according to the classification of target-responsive sites, and emphasize the development direction and challenges of H2S-responsive fluorescent probes, hoping to give implications of researchers on fluorescent probes for future research.

Abstract
Fluorescence probes, as analytical tools with the ability to perform rapid and sensitive detection of target analytes, have made outstanding contributions to environmental analysis and bioassays. Considering the expanding developments in these areas, fluorophores play a key role in the de-sign of fluorescence probes. Compared to classical fluorophores, phenothiazines with elec-tron-rich characteristics have been widely applied to construct electron donor-acceptor dyes, which exhibit outstanding performance in both fluorimetric and colorimetric analysis. In addition, these probes also exhibit the pronounced ability in both solution and solid-state, achieving portable detection for environmental analysis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the performance of phenothiazine-based fluorescent probes for detecting various analytes, especially in cations, anions, ROS/RSS, enzyme and other small molecules. The general design rules, response mechanisms and practical applications of the probes are analyzed, followed by a discussion of exiting challenges and future research perspectives. It is hoped that this review will provide a few strategies for the development of phenothiazine-based fluorescent probes.
